1665 - ADHD

From a health central article -

According to HealthCentral expert Eileen Bailey, getting an accurate ADD/ADHD diagnosis can be difficult at any time, but the fact that the disorder shares symptoms with other health conditions can make it even harder.

Here is a list -

Autism/Aspergers Syndrome
Hearing Impairments
Hypothyroidism
Iron Deficiency Anemia
Lead Toxicity
Mental Retardation/Republicanism
Nutritional Deficiencies/Food Allergies
Seizure Disorders
Sensory Disorders
Sleep Disorders


I might have added something to the list of symptoms. If you want to read all the short snippets that go with each item here's THE ARTICLE.

If I have ALL of these what does that mean?

This reminds me of the doctors that we met because of Aaron's ulcers. In the end, it just looked like the start with a master list, take your blood multiple times and start a process of elimination. I wish they had said "we'll start ruling out" instead of "we'll see if he has xxx".

If you have all those symptoms, it means you are the charming sexy genius I have loved so long and well, Sweetheart, and the world would be a better place if more people were more like you!
